Jesus!
Wait, What exactly are you trying to proof with fake life?
Igbo boys and fake life, I know a lot of them
Nnewi villagers

All those amenities were already in existence in Lagos before any ethnic group ever came and that was why it was chosen as the capital of Nigeria.

Mind you, Calabar was the Capital even long before it was moved to Lagos.

Why is Calabar not developing like Lagos?

UGBE634:
Calabar was capital for about 7 years, don't be clever by half. Lagos was capital for 85 years, she only dropped capital status in 1991

forgiveness:


It doesn't change the fact that Lagos has Electricity, Tram, railway, roads, bridges banks etc before it ever became capital of Nigeria. Facts.

Frenchkiss564:


Hahaha

The top 6 states are even south west states.

Facts don't lie

Chai, where did people now see the notion that the Igbos are the largest Nigerian ethnic groups in the USA and that the Yorubas are the largest in UK?

Like I always say, any sane thinking person living in USA will know the Yorubas are the largest West African Ethic group in the USA, they are clearly represented in universities, corporate America, African Restaurants, Self-Owned businesses and etc.

I am glad this data is straight from the USA government Census Bureau website, so this is an objective truth.

UGBE634:
You can see there, that the state higher than Edo in the south west, are Ogun and lagos. Edo is third, and also we cannot bank on Ogun and lagos because there is large number of immigrants there,many of the people getting their passport in these state might not be Yoruba

UGBE634:
Many of these things, infact most of it came to be after she became capital in 1906. Lagos would not have been lagos but for her capital status

ElSudani:


What arrant nonsense.

UGBE634:
it is not arrant nonsense, Edo is the most travelled ethnic group in Nigeria

scholes0:


lol how can you say this even with the data you just quoted?

When you compare Benin as a people in terms of ratio to the yorubas, you would understand what I am talking about. As our population increases mightily you will understand.

In that link the Iyase of Benin talked about having 20 of his family members in London alone. Let alone the entire Uk or the population of the entire Binis in diaspora. Timestamp 20:50 to 21:02

What year was this study released?

scholes0:


Oga, Edo has much more non Natives as a percentage of the population compared to Oyo..

UGBE634:
we cannot vouch for it o, Ibadan is mighty now, the population of Igbos in Iwo road alone might be up to some tens of thousand. Ibadan of late has received a lot of immigrants migrating from lagos for the purpose of a more calmer life.

UGBE634:

compare that with population of:

Igbos ...Including Anioma
Urhobo
Itsekiri
Ijaw
Yoruba
Ebira
Hausa
Isoko .. Etc in Benin... and you will understand.

Psychoanalyst on Igbo affairs, we might as well attribute the fetish and dirty nature of yoroubas to their love for ritual killings, incest, cyber fraud and genetic stupidity?

UGBE634:
They are economic immigrants, they came to Benin to hustle, they are not majorly the ones travelling,the group that usually travels there are the Igbos, their total number can't be more than 200 thousand. Compare that with the Bini majority in the city. I don't want to assign occupations to the Urhobos,and the Hausas, that would be derogatory to their image but we know what they do here. Ebiras,Isoko, Ijaw,Itsekiris are not much here.

You cannot also wish away the population of hausas in Ibadan too

The population of Urhobo travellers in Benin is very minimal

Still, there is no way you can compare the demography of Benin and Ibadan. Benin is a major city in a demographically diverse state and an even more diverse region. The Bini are not the only ones who travel in Benin. The Esan and to an extent the Afenmai are heavy travellers too, even Yoruba. Do you know how many Yorubas use the Benin passport office? It is sorta like BEDC over there that controlls electricity supply to eastern Yorubaland like Ondo and Ekiti. Unless you don't want to make that distinction... And these are all ethnicities that have a heavy population in Benin.

UGBE634:
Afemai and Esan are considered Edos by me. Afenmai would rather travel to the north than to europe, they have a large chunk in Kano and Kaduna. The heavy travellers in Edo state are Binis, Esan travel too but you cannot compare the ratio to the Binis, Esan population in Asaba, sapele and Agbor might be more than their population in Europe , and even at that Esan still dae learn where Bini dae. My brother I am telling you without fear or favour, not to denigrate your tribe, most of the yorubas we have in Benin at least a chunk of the Population are into Menial jobs, The Igbos are the most numerous non-indigenes and their population as I have stated before cannot be more than 200 thousand, the yorubas are smaller than that, so when you are talking about heavy population, I want to know the percentage. If we are to be talking about travellers out of Edo state that is not indigenous , we will be talking about Igbos.

Lastly there are passport offices in each of these yoruba states as we saw in that report, a yoruba man would not have to come down from Ekiti or Ondo to collect his passport in Benin. The scenario of Bedc is a different scenario

scholes0:


I know every state have passport offices, but If I am an Ondo or Delta man living in Benin, I would collect my passport there than having to travel to my state of origin to do the same thing... I think we are dwelling more on the fringe of the argument than the actual substance.... which is that the demographic make up of those utilizing the passport offices in Ibadan and benin can not be compared like that. It would be very dissimilar. The comparison to Benin passport office would be Port Harcourt..... But between the two, Benin would have more local participation as a total percentage.
